Kyle Kuzma Responds to Tweet Following Rough Night

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Phoenix Suns in Game 3, and pretty much every player contributed to the win. Young Kyle Kuzma works well under pressure and he delivered the right tweet following the win.

Kuzma doesn’t shoot much this season, but he has a nice way to make an impact. The young Lakers player is a combined 3-of-18 shooting the ball in the three games against Phoenix. He went 2-of-12 in Game 3. But, Kuzma really made an impact with his great defense. Fans praise him for his efforts in hustle plays. Kuzma provided valuable minutes off the bench, and the NBA world noticed it.

Kyle Kuzma fires the right tweet

Kuzma watches all the things that take place on social media and he responded to a tweet from Rob Perez. The latter complemented Kuzma’s game despite the rough shootng.

“Understand it’s difficult to convince people a player who shot 2-12 had a good game, but, Kuzma really was everywhere tonight doing the dirty work,” Perez wrote. “Lost count of how many second-chance opportunities he created with hustle and was there seemingly every time to plug holes in the D.”

Kuzma tried to shoot more in Game 3. He shot just six times in the first two games. He has wide-open looks but shots don’t really happen. Maybe he will find his rhythm with King James and AD back in the starting lineup.

“Obviously it’s not ideal for me to go a game and shoot the game two or three times,” Kuzma said after practice earlier this week. “Obviously. Just keeping it 100. I’ve just got to find ways. I’m constantly moving on the court and just trusting that the ball and that energy of moving is going to find me, whether that’s cutting to the middle of the rim, running the floor every time; and, in certain situations, being aggressive and making the right read.

“There have been a bunch of plays this series where I get in the paint, thinking to score, but there’s a teammate open and I’m hitting them. That’s just the right basketball play and I’m fine with it … those plays add up. I’ve just got to keep trusting that the ball is going to find me and hopefully it does in the right situations.”
